48 TRIBES OF THE 



We can call them Snouts or Weevils, 



Or else Curculionina. 



These are followed hy the Longhorns. 



This is one so sweetly scented, 



Scented like the oil of roses, 



Oil or attar as you like it ; 



This is called the Great Musk Beetle. 



But they are not all sweetsmeUiug, 



Yet they aU have long antennae, 



lionger even than the body. 



Long and gently taperuig outwards. 



These we call Cerambtcina. 



Look at these plump shining beauties, 



Fat and round as any dumpling, 



Often decked in brilhant colours, 



Green and gold and rainbowtinted ; 



All their feet flat and fourjointed ; 



Their antenna; like a necklace, 

 All the pearls ahke in bigness : 



These we call Chrtsomelina. 

 Lastly, clad in mail of scarlet, 



Or in clearest, purest yellow, 

 And in either case blackspotted, 

 Are these round and pretty beetles. 

 Which we know as Aphisfeeders ; 

 They have short and clubbed antennae. 

 And their feet are but threejointed. 

 Everybody seems to like them.
